I have this phone since 1yr. my experiences-
1.Build quality-very good, weight nice to hold
2. display very good 3. keys-very convenient with one touch for frequent apps 4. side rubber buttons for volume, voice dialling r problematic. very hard to press
5. Signal reception & call clarity- excellent 6. features-excellent. 7-multimidea- I found it good but I dont use music much. 8-Battery- very decent for a smartphone-mine 3 days with minimal use. 8.Software-very good and fast, no lags or hangs (I had a problem of left softkey which by default is assigned to menu made it hang again and again-its a bug. all u have to do is to change the left softkey function to something else like e mail.9. Camera-ok. enough for me. Good number of themes and 3rd party apps available for this.
All in all a very good phone for me.

I am using this phone from past 1 year and i have not experienced any major problem. And it's value for money.

However, i have only 3 setbacks with the phone #1. side buttons are awfully bad quality. They just wither out. #2. I am not satisfied with Camera, photo taken during night time is horrible. My ealier phone had 1.3Mp and the photo Quality was much better. #3 Speaker is not loud enough.
And it takes some time to get adjusted with the keys.

I need ur urgent help. My mobile is Nokia 51. three or 4 keys are reuined. They do not function or just keep working. I need an IU. The problem is that I can't transfere my contacts data because one of the keys is related to this and is not working. I tried to syncronize through a wire with the laptop, but I don't have an outlook. I did a backup, but a freind told me that I have to buy anothet Nokia 51 to transfere this data to it, if the currnet one is reuined completley. What can I do?

My friend the choice is yours whether you want to update or not. You may not be affected like I am. It's a 50-50 chance.

It's best to use the original battery that came with the phone as unauthorised batteries can cause damaging of the phone and even worse may explode in your face. Scary but true.

There was a report some years ago about Nokia phones exploding and in their defence Nokia said the problem was people using unauthourised batteries in their Nokia phones just because they wanted more battery life.
